So when those up hill climb kinda days come, just remember My Friends to Keep On, Keeping On! You can get through this, and You WILL REACH THE TOP! Your not alone 💙
One of the MANY thing’s I love about a fresh day is that it’s NEW and ANYTHING can happen! The IMPOSSIBLE can be made POSSIBLE! Miracles happen every single day, all over the world! So if Your feeling down in spirit today or having a hard time seeing the sun through those dark clouds of discouragement, PLEASE remember to not lose heart, don’t lose focus, don’t lose faith and NEVER give up believing, because ANYTHING is POSSIBLE and MIRACLES really do happen EVERYDAY! So just believe, watch and see! Remember, You got this!! 🌤☀️
You know, things can really happen so suddenly( the loss of a Friend, a Family member having a stroke, the coronavirus ext) in life. We can be just going through Our day and then ” get the call/text or see it on social media” that will change Our entire day.. It can really just suck You know, but Friends I want to remind Us all that even though bad news can sometimes catch Us totally off guard, it’s a PERFECT reminder of just how PRECIOUS life really is and that each day is truly a gift We shouldn’t take for granted! None of Us are promised a healthy tomorrow, nor are those closest to Us… Yet We can so naturally get into the ROUTINE of LIFE and without noticing take them being around for granted. It’s a sad reality, but not one that can’t be changed 🙂 Each day is a gift and so are those around Us, so let’s make sure to enjoy that gift❣
When I think about nature and all the variety of colors that are displayed in the trees, flowers and animal’s, I can’t help but wonder what it would look like if EVERY tree was the same color… What if EVERY flower was the same exact color?🤔 It doesn’t take long to realize how bland and just boring Nature would become! I personally feel that one of the MANY amazing things about Nature is ALL the colors and variety, especially during seasons like Spring and Fall!!! 😋 Well My Friends the same is true of People! You see one of the MANY things that make this world SO BEAUTIFUL is that We don’t just look the same or have the same skin tone, but instead( like Nature) We come in ALL shapes, sizes and colors, from all different cultures and races, with each culture being able to offer something different, something special, something unique… My Friends let’s make sure not to judge others based of skin or cultural differences. Because those very differences are what make this World so beautiful, so special, so unique! Let’s show love, not hate, let’s appreciate the fact that We aren’t all the same, instead of hating Others Who are different. No race is better than another, just like no color is better than another.. We all need each Other! So in closing instead of maybe showing hate towards that which is different, let’s appreciate instead the fact that We aren’t all the same! 💟
Today I want to talk about filter’s! Now there are all kinds out there, but I want to focus more on what they are used for. 🤔😋 You see filters, like for example a water filter ( for those of Us Who live in a Rainforest and use a water tank lol) are used to keep out harmful bacteria and debris that may have collected in the water. Without a water filter One could get very sick drinking the water… Well in Our life it is SOOOOO important to have filter’s as well! You see personal filter’s and boundries are very important to have in life if We are wanting to move forward. We need to internally set up personal filters that will help block out the negative bacteria’s and debris( or distractions) life might try sending Our way. Does that make sense? 🤔😋 So when We are planning Our goals in moving forward, it is also KEY to set up healthy filter’s that will help block out anything trying to get in that isn’t meant to be there or that will hold Us back. It is super important to internationally protect Ourselves and set up filters, because without filter’s We can become clouded and then before We even realize it We become internally contaminated… Without filter’s We won’t make it far in life, it’s just the way it is. So let’s make sure to set up healthy, good, positive filter’s in Our life, ones that will help move Us forward. Because at the end of the day, what We allow in and through us is exactly what’s gonna come out! 🦜
You know the saying ” that sometimes You don’t know what You truly have till You lost it”? Well sometimes it takes losing things in Our life to really appreciate it and place value on it( which can suck, won’t even lie haha🤔😊). But the truth is We just end up taking it for granted, never thinking We could lose it, You know? Then We hit rock bottom and lose what We never thought was possible. It’s a hard truth to face, but it’s true for so many of Us unfortunately.. However if We learn from it, then next time around We will have a TRUE appreciation for it and for life! Sometimes it takes hitting rock bottom, so You can start building Your life on the RIGHT foundation( learning from past mistakes so as not to repeat again). Hitting rock bottom in My opinion is life giving You another chance to rebuild Your life the way You want it! To be the Person You always wanted and hoped to be. To have that career You always wanted and the Family You always hoped to have… It’s a new chance at something better!!! So, dream big, set high standards, have good morals and goals, be selective of Who You allow in and then start rebuilding Your life! This is Your life… Your story… Your legacy… Make it something Your proud of, something You appreciate, something You value! Remember, NOTHING is impossible or too out of reach, if Your willing to put forth the steps to attain it!!! You got this 🦋
I was driving with My Dad yesterday I couldn’t help but notice the Fireweeds( a beautiful purple vine of flowers almost🤔😊) starting to bloom and I got super excited because I truly love the different Season’s and the “in betweens”! You see, We got the wild berry bushes here already starting to spring forth buds of flowers, shortly followed by them growing all their different wild berries( from Salmon berries, to Huckleberries, which make AMAZING JAM😋)! Also all the wild life and animals are coming out of hiding, the birds are now starting each new morning with a beautiful song.. It all is a constant and beautiful reminder that there really is a season and time for everything and that each day REALLY DOES bring new changes. What a beautiful reminder! In Our lives We go through different Season’s of change as well. As We grow, learn and mature are season’s change. As one season comes to a end, a new one is planted and in time will bud, blossom and bloom! Sometimes it can be sad to see certain season’s come to a end, but My Friends what a shame it would be if there was only ONE season! We would miss out on ALL of the beauty that comes from the different season’s! In Our life the same is true, certain chapters will come to a close… BUT don’t be sad, be EXCITED for the next season and new chapter is about to start! Lastly enjoy the “in betweens” of each season! Yes waiting for a seed to start budding( after planting it) can seem like FOREVER, and if Your growing something that’s gonna produce fruit, it could take EVEN LONGER! But the “in between” time is crucial for it to grow properly… Well the same is true for Us. Those ” in betweens” of Our chapters can seem like FOREVER sometimes, BUT that time is important, crucial and necessary in order to get to the blossoming and blooming season of Our life. You see We may not be able to see the seed growing in the dirt or even it at 1st bud, but it is!!! We may not see the full beauty of this new season We are in but with all the proper ingredients( sun, water and good soil), believe Me the beauty and fruit is coming! So let’s enjoy this beautiful season of change 🌺
Good morning My Friends, I start each morning with a cup of coffee and some soft tunes, usually while I sit down and do My daily devotions each day.. Takes Me about 15 to 20 min total, but makes ALL the difference in My day! One positive thought in the morning can change Your whole day! Now I know some mornings can be hectic, but I have also found that the mornings I don’t start off right, those days usually can turn into more stressful ones You know 🤔🙂 Our whole day is pretty much formed by how We spend the 1st waking hour… So let’s check Our mind and attitude and make sure it’s on a positive track! Make each day Ur masterpiece! It’s a new day, full of new opportunities, don’t waist it holding on to a bad memories. Today is a new day, it’s Your day! So start it right and then shape it how You want to be! You have the power to make today a good day or a bad one, just based off Your mindset. So let’s make sure to take a few moments each morning( while sipping Our coffee ☕ 😁) to get Our mindset right and be positive, be thankful, be SomeOnes reason to smile today❣
As I am sipping My cup of tea before bed, I just wanted to hop on and remind You that ” Your Amazing and Unstoppable!!! Not because You haven’t had failures or doubts, but because You have continued on DESPITE them! ⭐
So I decided to get out of the house and go for a little drive to one of My fav beaches( and of course I brought My camera 😋), to just have some time out in nature and get My mind out of a funk lol. Let Me just say it was SO EMOTIONALLY REFRESHING! As I sat on a log and watched the ocean pass by Me, I could hear Eagles talking in Their nest a few trees down from Me and I have to say, I just felt SOOO blessed and privileged! I have not always lived by a ocean, or always gotten to see REAL Humpback Whales, or Orca Whales, or Eagles( and Their nests are HUGE! Lol) Or Black Bears, and SO MUCH More, before living here! I am blessed for sure and just truly feel thankful for those moments when I can get away for a little bit and experience it. I find getting away from life’s stresses for a little bit and recentering One’s emotional Self is very healthy for Ones emotional state of mind. It may sound weird but My zin has become finding spots away from People, usually by the ocean or lakes/ rivers and just entering almost a state of mental meditation while taking pictures of landscapes, sunsets, the ocean, and animals.. Letting go of all the negative energy and thoughts and instead just refocusing on all the beauty and life around Me. It really is so refreshing and rejuvenating! I truly encourage You on those hard wks( or days), to take a few min break and get out in nature.. Take some deep breaths.. Listen to the birds sing and the waves crash.. Take it mentally in, because it’s there for You to enjoy at THAT moment! So enjoy it and see if don’t make You feel better afterwards 😋 Lifes meant to be lived and enjoyed also! So if You find Yourself in a mental funk, take a step away, breath in some fresh air, look at the beautiful view and be reminded of how blessed You truly are 🌺
